Hendrickson Worship introduces a new recording of
Handel’s 'Messiah', from world-renowned conductor and composer
John Rutter and the Cambridge Singers - 29 songs in all. Rutter
is probably the most successful choral composer of his generation.

'Messiah', (1741), is an oratorio by George Frideric
Handel. It is his most famous creation and is among the most popular
works in the Western choral literature. The name of the oratorio
is taken from Judaism and Christianity’s concept of the Messiah
(“the anointed one”), Jesus. Handel himself was a devout
Christian, and the work is a presentation of Jesus’ life and
its powerful significance according to Christian doctrine. 'Messiah',
is Handel’s most famous work and remains immensely popular
among concert-goers in the English-speaking world.

We at Cutting Edge heartily recommend this wonderful
CD, as the quality of this production is simply outstanding! This
work glorifies our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I. The North American
SuperState continues to evolve right in front of our eyes, in our
Daily
News!

Before you read this information, please take the
time to read an article we posted in mid-June, 1996, entitled, "NAFTA:
The Shocking Rest of the Story" -- NEWS1002.
This original Cutting Edge article explains that the creation of
NAFTA is part of a global plan to reorganize the world into 10 Super
Nation states, of which NAFTA is one. This plan fulfills Daniel
7:7-8 and sets the stage for fulfillment of Rev 17:12-17!

Finally, remember that NAFTA was officially formed
in 1993 as an economic union. The events we are seeing here now
are the steps to move an already-existent NAFTA into a political
nation.

Even though the Presidents of the United States and
Mexico, and the Prime Minister of Canada denied several weeks ago
that the purpose of their annual meeting is to create a NAFTA SuperState,
evidence continues to pile up that NAFTA is, indeed, coming together
rapidly.

Once again, we are faced with the reality that our
national leaders lie to us continuously. Truly, the old salesman's
joke applies to virtually all national leaders: Q: "How do
you know when a salesman is lying to you?" A: "When his
lips are moving"

We shall focus on three factors which demonstrate,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this SuperState is coming together:

1) New North Carolina Driver's Licenses featuring
a NAFTA logo

2) New Amero Coins bearing the NAFTA image

3) Mexican truckers are now coming across the American
border, effective today

North Carolina Driver's
License

I just received a phone call from a very dear friend
who lives in North Carolina. His Dad had just renewed his Driver's
License and was shocked to see that it bore an image of the entire
North American Continent, which, of course, is NAFTA!

We have posted this image, above, and report on this
news article, below.

"The first 'North American Union' driver's license,
complete with a hologram of the continent on the reverse, has been
created in North Carolina. 'The North Carolina driver's license
is 'North American Union' ready', charges William
Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration."

Many conservative Americans believe that the average
citizen will never accept this merger, but I believe that the gradual
implementation of NAFTA will occur very quietly, as this North Carolina
Driver's License exemplifies. You see, the Illuminati believes wholeheartedly
in the principle of 'gradualism", which means that people can
be induced to accept a controversial change if the change occurs
in small "baby steps" rather than in one big step.

The roll-out of a NAFTA image on driver's licenses
across this country is a great example of this principle of "gradualism".

Now, let us return to our featured article:

"The hologram looks exactly [like] the map of
North America that is used as the background for the Security and
Prosperity Partnership of North America logo on the SPP website',
Gheen told WND. 'I object to the loss of sovereignty that is proceeding
under the agreements being made by these unelected government bureaucrats
who think we should be North American instead of the United States
of America."

At this point, I must reiterate what I said, above.
The loss of national sovereignty occured in 1993, when President
Clinton joined forces with Skull & Bones Former President George
H.W. Bush to get NAFTA created. At that point, our national sovereignty
was trashed, but the American people were not told that this was
the bottom line result. When Congress voted to approve NAFTA in
1993, they were acting as the official representatives of the people;
therefore, you will never see a referendum in any state asking the
people what they want!

Now, concrete steps are being taken to change NAFTA
from an economic nation into a political one, following the example
set by the European Union.

A representative of the North Carolina DMV admitted
this new holographic logo was a North American Union logo!

"Marge Howell, spokeswoman for the North Carolina
DMV, affirmed to WND the state was embedding a hologram of North
America on the back of its new driver's licenses. 'It's a security
element that eventually will be on the back of every driver's license
in North America' ....."

Indeed, national security (National ID) is in view
here. Six years ago, Cutting Edge Bookstore carried a series of
video tapes from Michael Bunker, who had spent years working in
a large telecommunications company. Bunker warned very emphatically,
over and over again, that the National ID had proven so unpopular
amongst Americans that the Illuminati had decided to try a "back
door" approach. Individual driver's licenses were to be gradually
harmonized so that they could also function as a National ID Card.

We are at the point of implementing this plan, and
now we now that this NAFTA logo is the symbol for this entire effort.
This next quote affirms the plan to use the highway departments
as the unifying element in this plan.

"According to the group's website, AAMVA's programs
are designed 'to encourage uniformity and reciprocity among the
states and provinces. The goal of the North American hologram',
Howell explained, 'is to get one common element that law enforcement
throughout the continent can look at on all driver's licenses and
tell that the driver's license is an official document' ... each
North American hologram OVD foil is embedded with a unique set of
control numbers that permit law enforcement electronic scanners
to identify the exact jurisdiction and precise individual authorized
to hold a driver's license or ID card."

"... Illegal aliens who get driver's licenses
or IDs in North Carolina are just being prepared for their admission
into the North America Union driver pool that North Carolina is
at the vanguard of creating' ..."

Of course, this entire plan is being sold on the premise
of greater "Peace and Safety" for all citizens of the
United States, Canada, and Mexico!

"Federal officials have confirmed that the first
Mexican truckers have been given authorization to run their long-haul
rigs throughout the United States under the Department of Transportation's
Mexican trucking demonstration project ... This program was literally
announced under the cover of darkness," James P. Hoffa said
in a Teamsters press release issued by his office today. 'I have
no doubt the Bush administration knows how angry the American people
are about it'."

"Hoffa continued, 'I cannot understand why George
Bush is jeopardizing the safety and security of the American people'."

But, we understand Bush's actions, because they are
part of the long-standing Illuminati plan to join North America
into a single union known as NAFTA - a plan originally conceived
over 400 years ago!

" 'Syria won't be dragged into war when and how
the US and Israel dictate', Channel Two quoted Syrian officials
as saying Thursday, a day after IAF aircraft allegedly violated
Syrian airspace in an overnight operation. The television channel
also quoted Israeli officials as saying that the next few days would
be a 'testing time' and that everything possible would be done to
avoid escalating tensions."

Flying your war planes over enemy territory is an
act of war. This over flight seems designed to accomplish at least
one of three objectives:

1) Provoke Syria into a war reaction

2) Test Syria's air defense system to see what its
capabilities might be

3) Get a close look at Syrian formations and other
militarily important deployments. However, Israeli and/or American
satellite systems should be able to provide this kind of data without
having to send your war planes over the area.

For whatever reason, this over flight is wrought with
danger, for it can escalate tensions into an all-out war. Notice
that Israeli officials warn that the "next few days" would
be a time of "testing", a cryptic remark sure to add fuel
to this building fire. This next segment reveals the Syrian response.

"... Channel 10 reported that Syrian President
Bashar Assad was holding consultations with his top officials and
that the Syrian leader was not ruling out any form of response to
the alleged foray. Syrian officials reported that four or five IAF
aircraft broke the sound barrier and dropped fuel tanks over deserted
areas of northern Syria, along its border with Turkey. A Syrian
military spokesman said that Syrian air defenses opened fire on
the IAF aircraft. 'The Israeli enemy aircraft infiltrated into the
Arab Syrian territory through the northern border, coming from the
Mediterranean heading toward the eastern region, breaking the sound
barrier', the spokesman said. 'Air defense units confronted them
and forced them to leave', he added. 'We warn the Israeli enemy
government against this flagrant aggressive act, and retain the
right to respond in an appropriate way'."

Another Syrian official voiced the view held by many
Arab leaders throughout the region.

"Syrian Information Minister Mohsen Bilal was
enraged over the alleged incident. 'Israel in fact does not want
peace. It cannot survive without aggression, treachery and military
messages', he said ... it proved Israel's policies are based on
hostility."

This next segment seems to support Reason #2, above,
as to why the Israeli aircraft undertook this grave provocation.

"The Syrian military spokesman did not specify
whether the military used surface-to-air missiles or anti-aircraft
artillery when confronting the aircraft ... Syrian political analyst
speculated that Israel may have been probing Syria's new air defense
systems provided by Russia, at a time when tension is running high
between the two countries."

I believe this is the reason the Israeli Air Force
committed this flagrant provocation: to see exactly what capabilities
this new Russian system possesses. But, the question of the hour
is whether the Russians operating this new air defense system responded
fully to the Israeli incursion, but acted to hide their true capability
until all-out war ensues. Israeli leadership had better be careful
what they read into this incursion, because the air defense response
might have deliberately withheld so Israel cannot see the full capabilities
of the air defense system. After all, the Russians are brilliant
tacticians -- as evidenced by their historical dominance of the
world chess championships -- and they might have anticipated that
Israel would send war planes to test and to probe their system prior
to the outbreak of hostilities.

If this is true, Israeli airplanes during actual war
might confront a far deadlier enemy than they

anticipated, expectations based upon the results of
this over-flight.

Flying war planes over the air space of an enemy
who has fully deployed his forces for war is itself a sign of impending
war. This situation is grave. This next story illustrates just how
grave the situation is right now on the ground between Israel and
Syria.

"Leaves have also been canceled at IDF bases
as Israel braces for a possible Syrian reaction to the incident
in the coming hours. Israeli official spokesmen declined to comment
on the Syrian News Agency claim that Israeli warplanes entered its
air space from the Mediterranean Sea Wednesday night and flew opposite
Al Raqqah in northeastern Syria, breaking the sound barrier. Syria
fire forced them to leave without causing casualties ... The Israeli
jets 'dropped ammunition' over deserted areas of northern Syria
early on Thursday, said a Syrian military spokesman. He warned “the
Israeli enemy against repeating its aggressive action” and
said his government reserved the right to respond in an appropriate
manner."

Earlier reports indicated that these Israeli warplanes
dropped their extra fuel tanks; pilots would take this action in
order to more speedily fly away from danger. As we said earlier,
it is highly likely that, before Israel actually goes to war with
Syria, her air force leadership would want to know more about the
capabilities of the new Syrian air defenses recently installed by
Russia. Therefore, this action simply shouts 'War"!

IV.
As America inches her way toward the sixth anniversary of the 9/11
attacks, many citizens are growing increasingly worried that another
attack of this magnitude might occur on this 9/11.

"WASHINGTON — A new video of Osama bin
Laden makes no overt threats against the United States and appears
to have been made as recently as this summer, a government official
said today. The video includes references to current events in the
war in Iraq, the official said. That would bolster the video's authenticity,
which intelligence officials still are trying to confirm."

"Bin Laden makes 'no overt threat' in the video,
the official said. But he mentions Sept. 11 several times and says
that while the United States is the greatest economic and military
power in the world, the nation is unjust ... The video, which the
U.S. government obtained only very recently, surfaced the week before
the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Several intelligence
agencies were analyzing the video today. The Homeland Security Department
said today it had no credible information warning of an imminent
threat to the United States..."

Americans are not the only citizens subject to the
Illuminati scenario of creating the supposed threat first and then
stepping in with their "solution" -- a solution which
always involves the government taking more freedoms away. Europeans
have recently received their share of terror events designed to
make citizens agree to give up freedoms for "Security".

"COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Several people were
arrested in Denmark on suspicion of preparing an act of terror involving
explosives, the Danish intelligence service said today. The suspects,
who were not identified, were arrested late Monday in the Copenhagen
area ... The men had been under surveillance ... It was the third
time Danish police cracked down on suspected terrorist networks
since 2005."

"BERLIN — Three militants from an Islamic
group linked to al-Qaida were planning imminent bomb attacks against
Americans in Germany when an elite anti-terrorist unit raided their
small-town hideout after months of intense surveillance ... The
men — two German converts to Islam and a Turkish citizen who
prosecutors said shared a 'profound hatred of U.S. citizens'—
allegedly obtained military-style detonators and enough chemicals
to make bombs more powerful than those that killed 191 commuters
in Madrid in 2004 and 52 in London in 2005."

Now, we see the Illuminati "solution" for
better protecting European citizens against such acts -- or near
acts -- of terrorism.

"STRASBOURG, France: The European Union's top
justice official said more EU-wide anti-terror measures were needed
because the threat of terrorism in the 27-nation bloc remains high.
'All sources indicate that the threat of new terror attacks continues
to be high', said EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco
Frattini. He cited Spain, Italy, Belgium, Britain and Germany as
countries where the risk has been present. 'There is no room for
complacency, ... for letting our guard down', he told EU lawmakers."

Right on schedule, the top E.U. justice official --
equivalent to America's Attorney General -- publicly offers a draconian
agenda for solving the very terrorist problem which the Illuminati
has created in the first place!

If I understand the Illuminati Plan correctly, the
next terrorist attack will not occur before the Middle East explodes
in all-out war, a war begun when Israel goes to war against her
Arab neighbors! Therefore, watch the Middle East, for when that
planned war begins, terror attacks AND economic collapse will follow
quickly. Until that war begins, neither the next terrorist attacks
nor the economic distress will occur.

Please keep this fact in mind when terrorist attacks
really do start in earnest throughout the Western World. As we have
stated before, one of the purposes of the World War III designed
to produce the Masonic Messiah (Antichrist) on the world scene is
to allow the Illuminati to stage terrorist attacks in every country
whose leadership is currently being elected.

When Antichrist arises, all governments of the world
will be ruled by an Absolute Dictatorship!

V. For the past five
years, American war rhetoric against Iran has been hot, heavy, and
extremely threatening. Each time, President Bush has quietly backed
down.

This week, an article appeared which succinctly defined
some of the problems America is facing as it contemplates an attack
on Iran.

"Despite President Bush’s tough talk on
Iran, Iraq reality has his hands tied. Signals from the Bush administration
apparently indicate an aggressive US stance towards Iran’s
nuclear program. In a speech last week in Nevada, President Bush
said that Iran threatened to put the Middle East “under the
shadow of a nuclear holocaust.” A recent London Sunday Times
article cited a Pentagon plan for massive air-strikes against 1,200
targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranian military in
three days."

"However, the reality is that the organizing
logic of US policy to the Middle East is the stabilization of Iraq.
This is the result of a number of factors, including tremendous
public pressure on Bush to withdraw troops from Iraq, 'overstretch'
of US resources complicating its policy goals for the region, as
well as calls in Washington for multilateral diplomacy trumping
calls for further unilateral military action ... Another indicator
is the recent comments by French President Sarkozy that either an
Iranian bomb or an American military strike against Iran would be
tragedies ... The significance of these trends is that a potential
scenario exists in which resolution of the Iranian nuclear crisis
would not be led by the US, would not be military, and would not
be coordinated with Israel."

As President Bush tries to extricate himself from
the Iraqi Swamp, he desperately needs to create the illusion of
stability and "progress", the only scenario he has accepted
by which American forces could leave this totally destroyed country.

Even though Iraqi Insurgents have been primarily Sunni,
from Saddam's old army, the current government of Prime Minister
Maliki is Shi'ite. Therefore, the Maliki government is closely allied
with Shi'ite Iran!

If President Bush is ever going to extricate America
from this morass, he must do so on the basis that Iraq is stabilized
and is seen ready for her own forces to protect her internally.
This scenario means that, for a time being, violence must be down
and the casualty trend must be reduced.

To achieve this temporary stability, President Bush
must depend upon Iran to provide the muscle on the ground to achieve
this illusory stability. For this reason, American and Iranian representatives
have met on a number of occasions to discuss how Iran could aid
America in Iraq.

Bush's hands are tied by the disaster called Iraq.
For this reason, plus the prophetic protection afforded Iran by
the Ezekiel 38-39 prophecy -- as this DVD, "Magog
Invasion" so aptly demonstrates -- we believe
that an all-out attack on Iran grows less likely with each passing
day -- or should we say, with each passing rhetorical threat by
the White House.

VI. American General
David Pretraeus is said to recommend to the Congress a gradual drawdown
of American forces next week.

Notice the general's
report has been moved up from 9/15 to this Monday, 9/10!

"When he delivers a much-anticipated report to
Congress Monday on the state of the war in Iraq, Army General David
Petraeus will recommend a gradual reduction of forces beginning
next spring and also declare himself 'frustrated with the slow pace
of political solutions' in Baghdad."

Even though President Bush has given the impression
that General Petraeus' recommendation to the Congress will be an
independent military report, the reality is far different. The General
serves the Commander in Chief totally at his discretion. The President
could have his resignation on a platter in less than an hour.

Therefore, General Petraeus' assessment will be completely
in line with the President's agenda. Do not be mislead at this point.

"From his desk at Camp Victory inside the fortified
US military headquarters in Baghdad, Petraeus responded by e-mail
to questions from the Globe, offering a glimpse inside his command,
and his thinking before he arrives in Washington for his testimony."

" 'Based on the progress our forces are achieving,
I expect to be able to recommend that some of our forces will be
redeployed without replacement .... That will, over time, reduce
the total number of troops in Iraq. The process will take time,
but we want to be sure to maintain the security gains that coalition
and Iraqi forces have worked so hard to achieve."

As I stated in the earlier news segment, those "security
gains" will be illusory and will be designed to get American
troops out of the country under the guise of "Tough Victory".
The shadows of Henry Kissinger's Paris deal with the North Vietnamese
hangs heavy over Bush's current position in Iraq. Kissinger agreed
that America would not come to the aid of the South Vietnamese government
once the North attacked, as long as the North allowed a "reasonable
time" to pass before launching that final attack.

North Vietnam waited about two years after the American
Army left South Vietnam to begin their final fateful attack. Will
President Bush swing the same kind of deal with Iran, with the Iraqi
Shi'ite government, and with Sunni insurgents?

Only time will tell.

Numeric proofs of tight Illuminati control over Modern

This reality fulfills the classic definition of "Conspiracy"
originally penned by President Thomas Jefferson:

"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed
to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions,
begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through
every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematical
plan of reducing us to slavery." ["The Works

"THE JEWISH NEW YEAR AND THE RAPTURE
OF THE CHURCH"

Is There A Scriptural Connection Between The
Two?

The first four annual Jewish feasts foreshadowed
the basis for the Christian faith and the founding of the Church.
And with that being the case, what are we to conclude about the
last three feasts?

Next in chronological order is "Rosh
Hashanah", the 'Feast of Trumpets', which occurs
a full three months after Pentecost. And since all the feasts preceding
it lead up to and include the formation of the Church, does it not
make sense that in all probability the time gap represents the Church
Age? I am convinced it does and that Rosh Hashanah—the Jewish
name for their celebration of a new year and during which rabbis
around the world blow ceremonial ram’s horn trumpets called
shofars—is a symbol of the Church departing this world. --

--------Concluding
Inspiration ---------------"Able to keep you from falling."
Jude 24

In some sense the path to heaven is very
safe, but in other respects there is no road so dangerous.
It is beset with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is
to take that if grace be absent), and down we go. What a slippery
path is that which some of us have to tread! How many times have
we to exclaim with the Psalmist, "My feet were almost gone,
my steps had well nigh slipped." If we were strong, sure-footed
mountaineers, this would not matter so much; but in ourselves, how
weak we are! In the best roads we soon falter, in the smoothest
paths we quickly stumble. These feeble knees of ours can scarcely
support our tottering weight. A straw may throw us, and a pebble
can wound us; we are mere children tremblingly taking our first
steps in the walk of faith, our heavenly Father holds us by the
arms or we should soon be down.

Oh, if we are kept from falling, how must we bless
the patient power which watches over us day by day! Think, how prone
we are to sin, how apt to choose danger, how strong our tendency
to cast ourselves down, and these reflections will make us sing
more sweetly than we have ever done, "Glory be to Him, who
is able to keep us from falling." We have many foes who try
to push us down. The road is rough and we are weak, but in addition
to this, enemies lurk in ambush, who rush out when we least expect
them, and labour to trip us up, or hurl us down the nearest precipice.
Only an Almighty arm can preserve us from these unseen foes, who
are seeking to destroy us. Such an arm is engaged for our defence.
He is faithful that hath promised, and He is able to keep us from
falling, so that with a deep sense of our utter weakness, we may
cherish a firm belief in our perfect safety, and say, with joyful
confidence,

"Against me earth and hell combine,
But on my side is power divine;
Jesus is all, and He is mine!"

We at Cutting Edge Ministries believe strongly
in Bible memorization, for the time is quickly coming when the only
Bible any Christian - no matter their age - shall have is the Bible
secreted away in their mind
